MEP Plus Route

[pwelt]

Hi;
I load the MEP route on Open Rails and I find the graphics are terrific and the frame rate is great. The EMU's
and DMU's run very slowly, no acceleration at all. Am I not loading the route correctly? Any help appreciated.
Thank You
Pete

The "problem" is with the EMU and DMU .eng files.
I think there may be further information in either this (Open Rails) forum or in the MSTS forum.
You may need to do a search.

The problem is not with the eng files as such - otherwise everyone would have this problem in msts.

The files were created to provide as realistic experience as possible within the MSTS environment.

Therefore as OR deals with things differently, they might not work quite as they should.

With the DMUs, a lot of these have gears - are you changing up at the appropriate speeds?

The problem with the manual gearbox DMU is most definitely the eng file. These have been set up specifically to run in MSTS using the suggested formula proposed a few years ago by the forum user bavli. These are not MSTS default and thus do not work in OR.

The automatic gearbox and the EMU sets all work normally
